You mean, you cannot read cursive? I’m not even english native speaker and can read this easily, interesting
I am an even older fart, and I TAUGHT cursive. The only “cursive” here is the angry scrawl of someone who’d prefer to be cursing.
Look, for example, at the word immediately after HOLY MONTH. The closest correct cursive letters to fit the scrawl are:
“itreit”.
It’s only by context, and allowing for the angry misplacement of the tittle, that we can read it as “that.”
I can read it when the other person can write it
I can read cursive just fine. I can’t make out this note.
Many people can not, it’s not taught like it used to be. This however is a mix of sloppy cursive and simply not lifting the pen. Also the case of some letters are shifted. While I read the message correctly, it didn’t have context until reading other comments and I wasn’t sure I had it correct .

This isn’t cursive so much as it’s dragged manuscript. Keep in mind there’s no single group of characters in cursive. There’s variations. Capital F is the whole reason I quit cursive. Some do a backwards print F, some do it like the Friendly’s restaraunt chain.
Regardless, here’s what I couldn’t read accurately that buried the message: fasting, that, climbing, mountain.
…that’s not cursive? Like, there’s 3 or 4 actual cursive letters in there, the rest is sloppy print

I’m an English speaker (mother tounge), I can read cursive. That is atrocious hand writing. I say this as a person with terrible hand writing.

I can’t write in cursive, but even I can write better cursive than that, with my foot.

Remember that they’re writing on a paper taped to a window, not sitting at a desk.

Remember that they knew it was paper taped to a window when they made the attempt.
Who forced them to write quickly?
